I'm looking forward to the workshop. They always open my eyes to new things and are well worth the time and energy to attend! I always learn something and walk away with a new and greater...
TKDStudy,
As a fellow TKD student/practitioner who has also begun to study Wing Chun, I'd recommend that you check out the Hung Fa Kwoon in San Francisco. I think you'll find the teaching there...

Ummmm, dude, not to be a wise guy, but I stay up, walls don't push back.........
Like wise when I'm pushed for structure testing by a living person in class, I stay put. It is very stable.
Yi Ji Kim Yueng Mah, as it was taught to me, means Two Adducting Energy Stance. It is designed to focus one's energy into their Daan Tien from the upper and lower body, as well as connect the upper...
SevenStar,
That's Two Words you wrote there. ;)
Could it possibly be that many martial arts do not deal with discussing/teaching strategies for bridging the gaps correctly as to be able to make the techniques work? What angles work best when. What...
This = demonstrtative adjective. Refers to something located closer to the speaker than it is the listener.
Funny, I thought his dogma was about:
1. bring up technical questions and offer none of his original thoughts regarding what he brings up when asked to do so.
2. Gets frustrated by repeated...
Who's the master?
Why, Yoda, of course!
I thought you we're doing this last November.
I guess now the "Phenix" will rise from the farewell of Hendrik?
Ciao man. Sorry you're leaving, you had a lot to contribute it seems. Too bad...
As Tony and Savi pointed out, this is not exactly news. I was wondering why that statement struck me as being very “off”, then I remembered. There was a comment in the 7th world of Chan Buddhism that...
LOL!!!:D

Thanks for the laugh CD!

1, Thanks for your illustration. What do you mean by --The legs bend at the knee, and go up and down. What go up and down? the body rooted in YJKYM (no leg movement)?
You're welcome. Before I...
Hendrik,
Exactly what I said is what I mean. The legs bend at the knee, and go up and down. The hips move front to back (butt thrusts back then the plevis thrusts forward). The torso rotates left...
I guess I wasnt clear enough. When you were asked to define cyclic, you said this:
"The body is not standing still but turn."
So then, my question was/is do the feet and legs move in anyway...
Hungfutkune,
You are familiar with some of the common legends of the evolution/creation fo Wing Chun. If you're interested, check out this link for more info:

Good question.
So then, is the body turning with the help of the feet and legs? Or is the body itself rooted and the hips and torso are turning and moving? Can you please elaborate more?
My apologies to you Gangsterfist for this digression. It seems as if during the exchange of ideas and opinions, I made several that the Great Sage Hendrik, in his all knowing glory, has stated are...
Hendrik,
Time for a grammar lesson. Here's what you said, word for word:
What I did was the CONCEPT known as paraphrasing. I did not use your exact words, but I used the idea you conveyed...
"You can't help others until you can help yourself."
"Maintain your space but keep your focus."
"Flow."
Gangsterfist,
Along what lines do you want to train the mind for this discussion? To be empty? To be single minded?
I would say for beginners it is important to have them train their mind by...
Train,
Don't get so frustrated by Hendrik. He often neglects to add little things such as "In my experience" or "in my opinion" to his posts. Thsi negelct in turn makes them seem as if he's...
